As an Optical Test and Validation Engineer, you’ll play a vital part in ensuring that components and systems meet the highest performance standards to support the advancement of next-generation fibre laser products.

Working within a modern laboratory environment, you’ll test and validate critical optical components, troubleshoot technical issues, and help maintain the reliability and precision of advanced laser systems. The role involves close collaboration with multidisciplinary teams to analyse test data, document results, and configure new components for production use.

Full training is provided in fibre handling and optical testing, with a clear pathway for professional development within optics and laser engineering.

Key Responsibilities
  • Test, validate, and document vendor-supplied optical and electronic components
  • Support troubleshooting and performance improvement across development stages
  • Configure and verify new components within laser systems
  • Collaborate with engineering teams to analyse test data and resolve technical issues
About You

  • Confident using power meters, optical scopes, and other test instruments
  • Practical, detail-oriented, and proactive approach to problem-solving
  • Experience with lasers or fibre optics is an advantage but not essential
This is an excellent opportunity for a technician or engineer who thrives in a practical lab environment and wants to contribute directly to cutting-edge optical and photonics innovation.
